Default Cargo Box for Q5/SQ5

I'm looking for a Ski/Cargo Box for my SQ5. Does anyone have a recommendation?

The Audi one looks damn nice, but nearly $1000.

Part #000071174B

BTW, ECS has it for sub $700...personally a good Thule will do just as well.

Ski and luggage box. SKIBOX made by Audi. #4L0071175




I saw a color matched one in the dealer last week. It looked very nice.

Can you open the back hatch without contact?

Thule also makes a decent one, and about 75% the price of the Audi one.



Looks virtually identical to the Audi one, probably they make it for Audi.

Unless you really, really want Audi one I would never pay that much for it. The one I have is less then half the price and it does the job really well. How ofthen you will have it on top?

With Thule, make sure that the front of it doesn't open when you are driving and you won't get everything wet inside. I was going to get one of the Thule boxes, spent some time on their forums and ended up with Yakima. Nothing I would fight over but works really well for me.

Nice, but I think the Thule or Yakima is more in the price range I'm working.
